Get clued up
"There are loads of good training schools on the internet. Lynda.com is a great one. You can sign up for pay as you go online tutorials and learn everything you need to know about digital and design jobs. The web is a goldmine of free resources, too. Flash Kit is a great site for Flash designers, Smashing Magazine contains a wealth of knowledge for designers, also. Google is your friend when it comes to learning more!

Get practical
"The best way to learn is by doing: apply for internships; if you're already working in an offiline design role and have a digital department in your agency, you could spend a couple of days a week picking up some on the job training."

Transfer your skills
"There is a lot of cross over between print and digital design - the important thing is to think of design as a whole. The skills you've picked up in offline design jobs will be invaluable when taking your skills into the digital space - which is just another form of design."

Stay current
"Getting into the digital space is just a matter of keeping on top of trends (check out websites like Digital Arts) and ready to receive information that's out there. If you can do that, you can stay ahead of the game."
